Looks like things are coming along. Good to see!

Confirmation from National Auto Tools that the website (triumphliftus.com) was indeed a scam site. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

Greg’s - I know you’re at least partially right. Triumph is owned by National Auto Tools, so that website is not them. But it may be an authorized dealer, who has taken advantage of an online dba. I’m planning to call National Auto Tools and get some info. I’ll share if I learn anything.

I had a Titan (extra tall/long) and it was really solid. I never had a worry, but sold it with the house a few years ago. Now it’s time for another, and I was planning to go right back to Titan, but this sale price with Triumph has me thinking.

Does anyone have any experience with four post Triumph lifts? It appears they’re having a great sale right now, almost too good to be true, and so I wanted to see what information might be out there. Triumph, Titan, Atlas … there are lots of these Chinese constructed lifts, but for what I need...

I was very happy with the system. Part of my initial sense of security was that the company is based about 90 miles north of Minneapolis. I figured that if it was developed and worked there, then I should be fine. I set two thermostats, with two loops on the garage side (set to 50 degrees)...

Hi Boostin — I was very happy with Ryan and his guys. We made some changes along the way and the cost changes were appropriate - some increases and some decreases but very fair. Additionally he added a few nice touches, just because he thought it was the right thing. (Example - rebuilt a 30’...

My new garage finally made it to the satellite imagery on my iPhone. Weird that it's not yet showing on any of my laptop programs, but only my iPhone. Anyway, here is a before and after image, also with my initial photoshop of what I predicted it to look like. Before Prediction After

I still have a lot of finishing touches to do, so documenting a little bit every day. First of all, with this midwestern weather, we had a 50 degree drop overnight and the garage temp held steady, so I'm feeling pretty good about the heating system I put in -- and the insulation work I've done...

December 23rd ... 65 degrees ... It's a great day in the Green Bottle Bar !!

I agree with Finn. Adding antifreeze inherently reduces the efficiency of the system and increases the load on components. There's no metal tubing or copper pipe in the system, so no worries about corrosion. The only moving parts are the submersible pumps (inexpensive and readily available)...

I final finished up my ceiling and insulation, as it was a little tricky transitioning from the loft area to the cathedral ceiling. Amazing how much difference the last 5% of the job made. Since finishing the temp has gone up 10 degrees on both the garage and the pool house side. It’s hard to...

Yeah, I understand. I had already run a 60 amp circuit and looped the line above the brand new ceiling. By that point, it would’ve been way too much work to backtrack.

We discussed that as well, but I suspect the climate here is different enough that it was a toss-up for central Indiana. Also, I was limited in the size of water heater, because of the electric I already had in place, so wanted to be as efficient as possible.
